Quality mailshots

In 2019, the QAC launched its Quality Mailshot Initiative, in order to highlight good quality practices taking place across campus by means of occasional mailshots. This is an archive of all mailshots sent to date.

If you have an example of good quality practice at your unit which you would like us to include in this mailshot series, please get in touch with us on qac@um.edu.mt.
